Musnad Ahmad 18704

Translation

✧ Whoever grants a gift of silver, or guides someone to a path, or gives milk to drink, will have the reward of freeing a slave. And whoever says: 'There is no god but Allah, alone without partner, His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is capable of all things' ten times, will have the reward of freeing a slave.

Notes

• وَكَانَ يَأْتِينَا إِذَا قُمْنَا إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ، فَيَمْسَحُ صُدُورَنَا أَوْ عَوَاتِقَنَا، يَقُولُ: «لَا تَخْتَلِفْ صُفُوفُكُمْ، فَتَخْتَلِفَ قُلُوبُكُمْ.» وَكَانَ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ اللهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى الصَّفِّ الْأَوَّلِ أَوِ الصُّفُوفِ الْأُوَلِ.» وَقَالَ: «زَيِّنُوا الْقُرْآنَ بِأَصْوَاتِكُمْ.» كُنْتُ نُسِّيتُهَا، فَذَكَّرَنِيهَا الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ مُزَاحِمٍ
